NET ACCESS Functionality in Resource Kit Utility PERMS

MORE INFORMATION

PERMS.EXE is used to display users' access permissions for a specified file or set of files. To use PERMS, you need Backup Files And Directories privileges on the computer where the files are stored, and you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group for the domain or computer where the user account is defined. Otherwise, "Access denied" messages may occur.

To use PERMS:

At the command prompt (CMD.EXE), type PERMS with the appropriate switches:

   perms [ACCOUNT] [PATH] [/I] [/S]
				

Where:

   ACCOUNT
				

   Name of the user whose permissions are to be checked, in the
   format domain\username or computer\username or local username.
				

   PATH
				

   The name of a file or directory in any legal format, including
   UNC (\\). You can use the * or ? wild cards.
				

   /I
				

   Indicates that PERMS is to assume that account is interactively
   logged on to the computer where path resides. Without this
   parameter, PERMS assumes the user is logged on over the network
   and is a member of the Network security group.
				

   /S
				

   Checks permissions on files in subdirectories.
				

   /?
				

   Displays help for the PERMS command.
